Frecuencia
Una gallega entra a una farmacia en Madrid y pide un frasco de Frecuencia.
La farmacéutica la mira y le dice:
- Oiga... en mis 30 años de experiencia en esta profesión, nunca he oído de ese producto. ¿Es algún tipo de perfume nuevo?
A lo que la gallega contesta:
- ¡Yo no sé!.... El ginecólogo me dijo que me lo lavara con Frecuencia

La música del árbol
Mientras un hombre paseaba por un parque, vió a otro que estaba abrazado a un árbol, con una oreja pegada fuertemente contra el tronco.
Viendo esto, el hombre preguntó....
- Sólo por curiosidad, ¿qué estás haciendo?
- Estoy escuchando la música del árbol, respondió el otro.
- Vamos, vamos. Tienes que estar bromeando
- Por supuesto que no. ¿Quieres escuchar?
No pudiendo más con su curiosidad, el paseante dice,
- Está bien.
Colocó sus brazos alrededor del tronco y acercó su oreja. Con esto, el otro le puso un par de esposas, le quitó la billetera, los anillos, su reloj, las llaves del auto y finalmente le quitó toda la ropa y se fué corriendo.
Dos horas después, otro caminante pasó cerca, vio al hombre desnudo, esposado al árbol y le preguntó,
- ¿Qué te pasó?.
El hombre le contó la terrible historia de cómo y porqué se encontraba allí.
Cuando terminó de contarle lo sucedido, el otro movió la cabeza en señal de comprensión, caminó hasta quedar detrás de él, lo besó suavemente en la oreja y le dijo,
- De veras que este no es tu día, ¡¡¡¡cosiiiita!!!!

Ubuntu power tips
Decrease your boot time
Did you know that you can profile your Ubuntu boot process to streamline it? This tool has been available since Ubuntu 6.04, and with the increased speed of 10.04, it can now bring your boot process to an incredibly low time. To do this all you need to do is edit your /etc/default/grub file and change the line:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
to:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash profile"
Now issue the command:
sudo update-grub2
and reboot your machine. This next boot will take a bit longer than the standard period because the profiling is occurring. After this boot, remove the “profile” option from your grub file (which you just added above), issue the update-grub2 command again, and you will notice much faster boot times.
Launch applications with keyboard shortcuts
Removing your fingers from the keyboard is inefficient computing. Any good programmer will tell you this. But to make this as efficient as possible, you need to create keyboard shortcuts. To do this in the GNOME desktop, you have to visit your old pal gconf-editor. When you have that open, navigate to apps > metacity > global_keybindings, where you can edit any of the 12 run_command_X (where X is a number between 1 and 12) to be used to launch your favorite application or command.
Speed up your popup menus
If you’re like me, the delay between clicking on a menu and the appearance of a menu can be annoying — even though we’re talking milliseconds. I prefer to remove that delay so that as soon as I click, the menu appears. This is a simple trick for the GNOME desktop. Open up the file ~/.gtkrc-2.0 and add the line:
gtk-menu-popup-delay = 0
to the bottom of that file. Save the file, log out, and log back in. Your menus should now appear as soon as the thought crosses your mind.
Create Nautilus actions
The ability to right-click a file and run an action makes the desktop life so much easier. The GNOME desktop, along with the Nautilus file manager, offers a great feature that many do not even know exists: the Nautilus Actions Configuration Tool. You will find this tool in System > Preferences > Nautilus Actions Configuration. From within this window, you can roll your own actions, which will then be added to the right-click context menu from within Nautilus. You will need to set up five tabs of information: Action, Command, Folders, Conditions, and Advanced Conditions. This tool also allows you to import actions that others have created. Say you want to create a mailto action using Thunderbird. This one is simple. The only challenging section will be the command. For the command section (in the Command tab) enter:
Path: /usr/bin/thunderbird
Parameters: -compose 'attachment=file://%f'
The rest of the options should be fairly obvious to complete. Issue the command killall nautilus. After Nautilus restarts, you should have a new right-click content menu entry for the mailto.

Grub boot once
ssh as root:
# grub
grub> savedefault --default=0 --once
grub> quit
Reboot.
This will try the first kernel entry in /etc/grub.conf, if there's a Kernel Panic, it'll drop back to current default (1).
If OK, update your grub.conf with default=0.

Conoce como puede estar lista tu empresa para el Mercado Global con el Tutorial "Getting Ready for the Global Market" - Valley-Mexico mentoring grooms firms for growth
By Matt Marshall
Mercury NewsWhen Alberto Herrera started his own tech company in Tijuana two years ago, he was confident he had the knowledge to take on the risk.
His team had worked at Panasonic's office in the Mexican border city and had the technical expertise to craft a new kind of wireless sensor network -- one that can be used for hotel room key cards and turn on the heating system once a customer has entered his or her room.
But Herrera didn't have contacts with venture capitalists and didn't know how to spiff up a business plan.
That changed last year, once his company, Medida, started working with the Mexico-Silicon Valley Technology Business Accelerator (TechBA for short) in San Jose, funded by an annual $6 million grant from the Mexican government.
TechBA assigned a special adviser to Medida, to mentor it in Silicon Valley's arcane ways.
The help is part of an effort by the Mexican government to jump-start its technology economy -- in part through better connections to leading tech centers like Silicon Valley and their entrepreneurial cultures and practices.
Mexico's domestic information technology and software market totals more than $3 billion a year and has 2,095 companies, according to its economics ministry.
Mexico exports about $400 million in technology services each year to the United States, about half in business process outsourcing, half in software outsourcing. But Mexico wants to do more than supply its northern neighbor with a cheap source of labor, says Jorge Zavala, chief executive of TechBA. ``The question is, how do we switch from low value-added services and move into information technology?''
The goal of TechBA, he said, is to help create Mexican companies that own their own technology, and to export $5 billion in technology and other services by 2012.
In Herrara's case, TechBA appointed a mentor -- Adolpho Nemirosky, an Argentine entrepreneur who has worked in the valley's semiconductor and telecom industries for 13 years. He had co-founded a venture-backed company, Xtreme Logic, and was eager to help others. He is paid a stipend by TechBA.
His help has already gone a long way. Nemirosky taught Herrera how to make an elevator pitch -- that is, a two- to five-minute synopsis of his company, tailored for impatient investors. He advised him to focus on specific areas, such as sensor systems for hotels and for entertainment software. And he took Herrera to meet with some professors at the University of California-Berkeley, where Herrera was able to secure a technology adviser.
To top it off, Nemirosky groomed Herrera to present to venture capitalists Tuesday evening at an event hosted by TechBA and an angel group called Silicom Ventures. Besides the investors, a live audience of more than 200 people looked on. And Herrara performed well enough that three of four venture capitalists invited him to talk with them further. ``I'm very pleased with him,'' Nemirosky said of his protege.
Currently, 40 companies participate in the TechBA program, and the group recently announced its first tangible success: Mexican company JackBe. The company, which has created Web sites for Sears and Citigroup's Mexico operations, raised $6.5 million in venture capital funding in November -- the first Mexican tech company to raise venture capital from the United States, according to TechBA's Zavala.
There are other signs of late that the U.S. venture capital market is waking to not only to Mexico, the world's ninth largest economy, but also to the fast-growing Hispanic market in this country.
Sausalito venture firm Sienna Ventures is now raising $100 million for its newest fund to focus on the Hispanic market.
Herrera's company, Medida, meanwhile, is expanding in the United States. It has $1 million in revenue after a year's work, 10 employees and an office in San Jose, where employees can drop in from Tijuana. Silicon Valley is a good place to develop contacts for customers, said Herrera.
``We've gained visibility that would otherwise be very hard to get,'' he said.
One of his customers is XaviX, which makes interactive sports games and also has offices in San Jose. Medida provides XaviX wireless sensors for its newest fly-fishing game -- where the sensor detects when game players flick their wrists and feeds information back to the game.
Mexico is just the latest country trying to develop a network here in Silicon Valley.
Gadi Behar, managing director of Israeli-focused Silicom Ventures, has reached out to groups from Canada, Argentina, Brazil, the Netherlands and Hawaii, offering help such as crash courses on Silicon Valley's business culture. ``They all want access to Silicon Valley,'' agreed Michelle Messina, a public relations professional who has also helped companies in these groups.

- Novell Missteps Not Affecting SuSE
By CowboyNeal on ridin'-the-storm-out
OSS_ilation writes "Analysts and users agree -- if the layoff rumors at Novell prove true sometime soon, SuSE Linux has nothing to fear. Over at SearchOpenSource.com the word is that the popular SuSE Linux operating system has both the community support and technical chops to weather any personnel-related storms that may be lingering on the horizon. However, the point is also made that should Novell go south, there are those who believe SuSE could prove to be an appealing acquisition target."

Finding Signals in the Noise
Digg, Memeorandum, Findory, Blogniscient, and other startups promise to manage news overload on the Web.Few would dispute that we live in an age of information overload. In the last few years alone, blogs have increased the torrent of information each day to unmanageable levels.
This would explain, then, why a corresponding torrent of startups has surfaced recently to help us filter, manage, and control this flood of information. Some rely on insightful algorithms that understand popularity to filter the news, while others rely on the preferences of readers. - Big Media, Little Blogosphere
